Extreme Tinder Skills

We Can All Learn From This Guy's Extreme Tinder Skills

Every single person in their 20s complains about Tinder. You're on it all the time, and inevitably, one of these happens: 1) You get no matches. 2) You get matches, but no dates. 3) You get dates, but no sex. 4) You get sex, but no one you really, you know, connect with. In essence, you can't win.

Unless you're this guy. The following screenshots, uploaded to Imgur with the unassuming title "First Week of Tinder" by user asrign, show a pro at work, an absolute master of the form, a Tolstoy of talking on Tinder, a Michaelangelo of messaging matches. Sit back and watch genius at work.

1) He's personal. He uses details specific to match to personalize a lot of his openers — most of the time, with the name. This is important because it lets his matches know that he's not just copy-and-pasting other people's ideas.

2) He's funny. This doesn't come naturally to every guy, but it's something you can practice. He sets up conversation scenarios and then goes in the opposite direction the match is expecting.

3) He's not homophobic. Right off the bat in two of these convos he makes jokes that involve him being attracted to other guys. That lets the matches know that he's comfortable with his sexuality and isn't some fake tough guy.

4) He's confident. He's starting almost all of these conversations and clearly has an idea what to do when the match responds, thanks to his jokey scenarios. He also shows off a bit by creating structured messages and showcasing his vocabulary skills.

5) He's not afraid of failure. Some of these women didn't respond, but he doesn't whine about it or follow up constantly — if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. On to the next one.

Well, that about wraps up this master class. Tip of the cap, guy. And if you like his style, check out some more extreme Tinder skill.
